CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Method
According to Denzin and Lincoln 1994, qualitative research focuses on interpretation of phenomenon in their natural settings to make sense in terms of
the meanings which the people bring to these settings. This research focuses on describing and understanding the phenomenon of indirect command. The
qualitative-descriptive method is used to give details descriptions of a specific situation. Kothari 2004: 2 states that descriptive research uses survey method in
all kinds, including comparative and correlational. A case study is also used in this research. Case study is an in-depth
examination of a particular case, Ellen Taylor-Powell, Sara Steele 1996. It is used to compile a comprehensive and systematic picture of a particular case. This
research also applies a case study which tries to describe, explore, and explain the way and reason of indirect command expression apllied by the characters in the
film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Because the analysis focuses on the hidden meaning of the command
expressions, pragmatics approach is applied in this research. Pragmatics concerns with the study of meaning as communicated by speaker or writer and interpreted
by a listener or reader, Yule, 1996. This research analyzes the hidden meaning of the utterance in delivering the command implicitly. For that reason, pragmatics
approach is applied in this research to analyze the indirect command in the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
